MAX5976BETE+ datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

MAX5976BETE+ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended PCB layout for the MAX5976BETE+ to ensure optimal performance?
  A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the input and output traces short and away from noise sources. Use a common mode choke or ferrite bead to filter the input voltage.
• How do I ensure the MAX5976BETE+ is stable and doesn't oscillate?
  Ensure the output capacitor is within the recommended range (10uF to 100uF) and has a low ESR. Also, add a 10nF to 100nF capacitor in parallel with the output capacitor to improve stability.
• What is the maximum input voltage that the MAX5976BETE+ can handle?
  The MAX5976BETE+ can handle up to 42V input voltage, but it's recommended to keep the input voltage below 36V to ensure reliable operation.
• How do I adjust the output voltage of the MAX5976BETE+?
  The output voltage can be adjusted by changing the resistive divider ratio of the feedback resistors (R1 and R2). Use the formula: Vout = 1.25V x (1 + R2/R1) to calculate the output voltage.
• What is the maximum output current that the MAX5976BETE+ can deliver?
  The MAX5976BETE+ can deliver up to 2A of output current, but it's recommended to keep the output current below 1.5A to ensure reliable operation and minimize heat generation.
